My understanding is that I'll have to sweet-talk the staff at either the AF or AZ lounge in LHR's terminal 2 (where IB flies) that day... show my Delta business boarding passes and my Platinum/E+ card... and hope for the best.
AZ lounge staff at LHR T2 are likely going to want to see a same-day departure SkyTeam-coded/-operated boarding pass at the very least (unless you get someone willing to let you in anyway). Where/how will you get a same-day SkyTeam departure boarding pass to show to AZ lounge staff at T2? Or will you just show them an e-ticket itinerary/ticket?
